Title: [Proposal] New ReEducation Subforum
Post by: stochastic on October 29, 2012, 05:08:13 AM

In response to the thread about Goats banishment (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=120102.0) from bitcointalk.com I propose a new subforum called ReEducation, a subforum to reeducate lost members of the bitcointalk community.  Instead of banning members for trolling, not providing any quality discussion, and/or not understanding the greatness of Bitcointalk.org and its glorious administrator theymos, users could instead be sent to ReEducation to learn why their past behavior was unacceptable.

Members of bitcointalk that break the rules of bitcointalk would only be able to read and post in the ReEducation forum for a certain period of time until they are deemed suitable to reenter the main bitcointalk forum.  The ReEducation forum would have sticky posts about the rules of bitcointalk and statements by other qualified members about the greatness of bitcointalk.  Users sent to ReEducation would also be forced to self-criticize and produce written posts on why they have been mistaken in their past philosophy and criticism of bitcointalk, its moderators and administrators, and any other topic cited by bitcointalk moderators that needs reeducation.  User posts would also been screened by moderators and approval of the post would be required before it goes public.  Users in ReEducation would have their signatures speaking the greatness of the ReEducation process.  Finally, users to be ReEducation would have to provide a post showing them wearing giant socks on their head.

Deafboy you are a true comrade.  I wonder if other users will speak up in support, unless they are part of the conspiracy to destroy the bitcoin revolution.

Now you get the idea! because you have to have a donated forum in order to set one up, and you know those can only be created by anonymous geniuses.

Strongly support this idea.

Since I've been at the forum, I've learned that I am a statist and covert government agent.

It's great to learn new things about oneself, but it would be even better to fix them.

I believe that if I draw a line between myself and the state, I can re-emerge as a trustworthy member of the community. However, I can't do it alone. I need the community's help.

This is a great example of self-criticism.  It shows what the person lacks, their incorrect and counter revolutionary ideas, and how to solve the problems together.  The cause will grow greater when more lost users reeducate rather than total banishment.

What a marvelous idea! I am authorized to say that the first person completing their re-education by mining one block by hand gets a free MPEx account.

Where did pirateat40 go?

Like a running-dog, I called out pirateat, PPT operators, and pirateat investors as 'scammers' and 'idiots'.

A direct attack on the party!!! The party's labels are 100 times correct.  A comrade of my class background ('ignored', 'statist', 'covert government agent', 'Keynesian', 'FUD spreader', 'troll', 'traitor') is close to a scammer. To call a loyal party backbone a scammer or idiot is to talk white into orange and orange into white.

Does the party have a new investment fund? The party is my true mother and the party fund is my family home. The family fund will surpass the central bank. Nothing is more trustworthy. Nothing earns high returns. Nothing is more free market. Reactionaries who keep funds in the banking system are statist, Keynesian, FUD-spreading traitors.

Yes, exactly, and there should be no questioning of the owners rules and administration style.  I only wish we could reeducate the haters and the trolls so they can see things the right way.

You know, It's funny. I've questioned the admins, before, but I'm still here. Maybe it's because I wasn't a dick about it, and/or that wasn't the final straw in a string of troll posts.

I am the person with good relationships with the forum participants since my registration. I am sure that no one had included my username in an ignore list. I became a forum VIP member by my own merit. I have a great deal of respect for Theymos because his background and his actions. We even share same preferences for books, games and other activities.

To further my reform, I am identifying model forum members. These are people whom everyone should emulate in their words and actions. I have identified one.

Augustocroppo is a true people's hero! I propose that he get the 'Great' tag and also that he change his name to "The Great AugustoCroppo." Augusto, you cannot refuse the people's acclamation.

Great idea comrade, but you have left out the better parts of the Great Crappo's contributions. The New Bitcoiner always quotes with complete context so as not to diminish a comrade's real merits in the matter!

You are completely the contrary of my character. Your relationship with the forum participants have been bad since your inception. You never donated for the welfare of this forum. Your username is present in various ignore lists. You have no respect for Theymos neither you share any preferences with him.

So wait, have you obtained the oh so revered VIP thingie "on your own merit" or did you just donate like everyone else?

Yes, I donated as everyone else and the donation represents my merit. To pay for a certain status is also a matter of merit in case you do not know. The 50 BTC which I donated were obtained from my own effort.

You... Well... You paid 5 BTC for a person to design a truck with cherries and you did not obtained any merit with that.


Let it be known, especially by those bourgeois reactionary enemies of the New World who refused to pay 20 BTC for their MPEx accounts and furthermore declared mean things about the same principle! 50 Bitcoin buys a lot of merit around here! 20 only used to buy something useful.

Also, the cherries in question:

Now, it is illegal in my country to support such statements. This puts me in a very difficult position. I must draw a line between myself and the state.
These are the words of a people's hero! The words of Augusto Croppo the Great, beloved of Theymos! Yet, I cannot bring myself to repeat them.

What are your origins? Your parents or grandparents migrated to Israel after Second World War or they were already established on the region when the state of Israel was formed?

I think we learn from this that members of certain racial origins may not be possible to reducate. Can we have a statement from Chairman Theymos?

I propose that, in addition to the re-education program, we instate a halfway house for those on the path to full reintegration with the community.  Members in the halfway house would be allowed to post in any forum board, with the requirement to fill out captcha for each post. Captchas would be chosen randomly from a large pool of appropriate slogans, chosen mostly from the stickies in the re-education board. This would reinforce proper ways of thinking and observing, and improve likelyhood of a healthy and complete recovery.

The captchas are an excellent idea. I suggest we use very long captchas. Something like typing one of the Moderator's brilliant posts ten times over with no errors.

For example: In the thread, "pirate-based shitstorm", Moderator Hazek wisely reminded us of the true reasons behind pirate's theft:

Make no mistake - all this shit that happened is a direct consequence of the state. This is painfully obvious as soon as you agree that we don't and never can have a free market as long as there is a state. Why? Because anonymity and responsibility don't mix.

The state is the reason why so many must hide their identity, since if they want to preserve their safety, well being and wealth, this is the only way to avoid a giant mafia of thugs hurting and robbing them simply for providing a voluntary service to their customers. Were this not the case, non violent ostracization would be made possible as punishment for those service providers that violate their promises and eventually the bad apples would get weeded out. And there are many bad apples.

Typing that ten times over would be a great captcha. As we get rehabilitated, we can decrease the number of repetitions.

Wow I had not been to this thread for a while because I thought it was dead.  I agree with the captcha.  It is a great idea.  Have to get rid of those mindless robots.  Maybe I should make a list in the OP of those users that are considered great as well.  Who else gets the Great tag?

I think we should apply it sparingly, sort of like the forum's own Stalin Prize for contributions to libertarian thought.

Broad application would be an insult to Augusto Croppo the Great, The People's Libertarian Hero, Beloved of Theymos.

I'd suggest copying truly exceptional posts of model forum members here. We can select new Heroes from among these exceptional posts.

Moderator Hazek is my only other nomination at this point. Moderator Hazek's posts illuminate libertarian thought. I feel that he is worthy of the People's Acclamation.
Maybe he needs a different title: Censor Hazek, People's Guardian of Natural Law?

Loved the titles, they have been awarded.  Truthfully, after giving these brave men the tag it would be hard to judge others worthy enough of receiving this honor.
